Local Group To Host Fundraiser For Community Art Space Sunday, March 27th

March 22, 2016

A local group headed up by Ryan O’Sullivan from Broadway All-Star is hosting a fundraiser to help secure a flexible space for the creation and presentation of all forms of art in Newport, RI. A space that is open to everyone, all ages and to incubate our fledgling arts community.

Studio space – a small membership fee will give artists the chance to use the space to create, Newport is an incredibly expensive place to rent a studio space full time, this will negate those costs by creating a collective space for very little money.

Gallery space – a place for artists to have openings and show off their work.
performance space- all ages venue for expression of music/dance/moving visual media.

Meeting space – a place for community organizations to hold meetings to help further the betterment of our little city.

This will be the only place in Newport that will be focused on featuring the art and not selling drinks, thus creating an environment for more creativity rather than creating an atmosphere focused on increasing bar/food sales.

Spread the Word! – Not everyone is able to contribute financially, but word of mouth is a very powerful tool. Please talk to your friends, neighbors, family, friends, co-workers, whoever about this project- if you think this is a positive thing for Newport the best thing you can do is talk about it.
